What is recorded here
Seven cists, one ring ditch and a stone alignment mark the Demesne in County Antrim. Bronze Age hands arranged the stones while people watched the sky or remembered the dead. The land has kept that shape through centuries of rain, grass and forgotten feet.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIALS (7) 1 WITH RING DITCH; STONE ALIGNMENT. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Cist burials with a ring ditch and stone alignment, dating to the Prehistoric and Bronze Age periods. These features are significant as they reflect early burial practices and ritual landscape use in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
